Anderson is wishing on more spin the this adminstration is still a favorable one. You know Anderson I don't get it. You stand up for the victims of Katrina over and over yet there is no justice for the highest death toll do to a major storm EVER in history. Talk about two faced. This adminstration allowed the death of thousands and you promote them all the more.
MEPs divided over CIA report13.06.2006 - 09:54 CET By Helena SpongenbergEUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The CIA was "directly responsible" for abduction, detention and rendition of terror suspects in Europe and member states "may be held liable" for failure to comply with the European Convention of Human Rights, according to European lawmakers.MEPs in the temporary committee on alleged CIA renditions issued the text which stated it is "implausible...that certain European governments were not aware of the activities linked to extraordinary rendition taking place on their territory."
The committee adopted the interim report by a majority of 25 members against 14 with seven MEPs abstaining. The whole of the parliament is due to vote on the report at the beginning of July."I am happy that the majority of MEPs on this committee support the report," said Swedish MEP Cecelia Malmstrom in a statement."But it is strange and surprising that the [centre-right] EPP-ED members continue to deny what the rest of the world acknowledges: that illegal renditions do take place in Europe, that international conventions have been breached and that European citizens have been tortured with the awareness of European governments," she stated."Why don't the EPP members trust [US secretary of state] Condolezza Rice who has confirmed that these renditions have taken place in Europe?" Ms Malmstrom asked.

Same article, just proof that the word about Condi Rice's knowledge regarding 'extraodinary rendition' is valid. NSA. I am sure all those given a free ticket to torture by the NSA had their communications tapped. It's interesting, but, in the Senate hearings regarding the nomination of General Hayden this subject NEVER came up. Conveniently forgotten.
EU-CIA report faces parliamentary storm
MEP’s report into allegations of illegal CIA activity is set to hit troubled waters when it is debated in plenary next month.
On Monday rapporteur Claudio Fava MEP had difficulty getting his interim report secured in committee.
The Italian faced nearly 200 last-minute amendments that had to be debated before the committee approved the final text.
The interim report was eventually agreed to- with 25 votes in favour, 14 against and seven abstentions.
“I am happy that the majority of MEPs on this committee support the report. But it is strange and surprising that the EPP-ED members continue to deny what the rest of the world acknowledges,” ALDE MEPs said in a statement on Monday.
“Illegal renditions do take place in Europe, international conventions have been breached and European citizens have been tortured with the awareness of European governments."
"Why don't the EPP members trust Condolezza Rice who has confirmed that these renditions have taken place in Europe?"

IT would seem all the money the Indian tribes spent on Jack Abramoff didn't get them off the hook for environmental issues after all.
Seneca Gaming official denies hazard exists

Federal environmental officials installed a half-dozen air sampling machines near the H-O Oats silos Monday, trying to learn if airborne asbestos is escaping from the demolition site where the Seneca Nation of Indians plans to build its Buffalo Creek Casino.
Technicians from the Environmental Protection Agency placed air pumps at the Lofts at Elk Terminal, directly across Perry Street from the silos, as well as the public housing at the nearby Perry Homes and Perry Annex.
Jeffrey Bechtel, the EPA official who came to Buffalo on Saturday at the county's request and ordered an emergency crew to fly in Sunday for testing, said the EPA's air sampling may settle the question.

Is this any way to secure a country? By Miriam Pemberton and Lawrence Korb
This is what passes for a security debate in the halls of Congress these days. The House and Senate Armed Services committees are on track to hand the president the 460-odd-billion-dollar military budget he asked for, give or take a billion or two.His political troubles are emboldening them to raise a few objections along the way. The House committee expressed “strong concerns about the escalating costs of military platforms” (planes, ships, tanks).Such platforms would clearly include the V-22 Osprey helicopter, which, despite two decades and $18 billion already spent in development, is not yet operational. The Army no longer wants it. The Armed Services committees don’t seem to care; they noted their concerns and fully funded the program anyway.

Anderson has been out peddling his book. I wonder where the proceeds are going. He hasn't said. A Katraina Fund perhaps. He should say where all that money is going. Perhaps pet shelters on the Gulf Coast.
Anderson Cooper's Book Hits Top Spot On New York Times Bestseller ListJune 13, 2006 5:39 p.m. EST
Julie Farby - All Headline News Staff Writer
(AHN)-Anderson Cooper's mix of memoir and reportage "Dispatches From the Edge," will hit the top spot on the New York Times hardcover nonfiction bestseller list this week. The book displaces "Marley and Me," the bestseller about a recalcitrant dog, and leapfrogs Tim Russert's collection "Wisdom of Our Fathers."
Cooper's current achievement marks the first time in a while that a journalist sits atop the list. Two years ago, Tom Brokaw did it with "The Greatest Generation," but that book wasn't a memoir and had the advantage of a glitzy premise.
According to the Variety report, part of the reason for Cooper's sales bonanza is he has been marketing the book on "AC360" in the context of news stories related to Katrina. Besides, Cooper's appearance on Oprah-which certainly helped propel book sales-more than a thousand fans lined up to see the anchor and have books signed at a Gotham Barnes and Noble last week.
Meanwhile, Cooper's fortunes also are turning around on the tube. After an April in which his ratings were down 36 percent in the 25-54 demo for the 10 p.m. slot compared with a year ago, May saw a jump of 24 percent.
